Quickies: #Masculinitysofragile, my uterus is not a tech leader, Black Panther, and Happy Birthday is free

#Masculinitysofragile highlights toxic masculinity’s weak points – “Perhaps one of the most egregious effects of the fragility of masculinity is in how when men’s advances are rejected, it’s almost expected of them to react violently.
